“PET” stands for Polyethylene terephthtalate,
the plastic used in bottles.
“PETS” is incorrect usage of the abbreviation.

    This must be Petco because “it’s where pets go.”

    Hey, why does my dog soup have this weird metallic taste to it?

    If this is a recycling bin, then WHAT exactly do you reuse the pets for??????? My guess: Hairpieces.

    There’s one of these at Union Station. They don’t allow carrion luggage on the train !!

    It’s hard to keep real pets in Japan, so maybe this is where all those annoying Tamagotchi’s ended up…

  29. Lora | 5:53 am |  Vote: Add rating 0  Subtract rating 0  

    …They ended up in Korean recycling bins, too. :-)

    I wouldn’t order the soup. I just saw the chef with a box marked stuff next to that..

    wait.. i’m not quite sure it’s incorrect abbreviation.
    I think they just put the korean on the left side into a translator, but because the bottom row didn’t have a dot separating the two, the translator probably read it as one word, which, together, makes up the sounds for the english word: “pet”..

    This probably isn’t Engrish, as PET is a kind of plastic bottle. Barring that, it may be that Korea is tapping into a new market of animal recycling. When eating in a foreign land, I suggest ensuring that nothing you bite into has an old leash hanging from it.

    well… it beats flushing them down the toilet or burying them in the backyard…
